Setup Steps

Use this path when the buyer already needs Form 4 metadata and wants a direct, authenticated request before building a scheduled monitor or issuer dashboard.

1. Subscribe and copy the key

Use RapidAPI to choose a plan and copy the generated application key.

2. Request one issuer

Call the insider filings endpoint with ticker=MSFT and a small limit.

3. Store filing IDs

Persist accession numbers so the next refresh can highlight newly observed Forms 3, 4, and 5.
